Iapologise for the delay in replying, due to the end of
the work of the Comintern. The plenary meeting of the
Central Committee did not adopt any
decisions[1]that alter
the established policy. Britain is threatening war, she does
not want to wait later than Monday, August 9. I don’t
much believe the threats. Kamenev in London is also
standing firm so far, and I am convinced that your successes
against Wrangel will help to put an end to the vacillations
within the Central Committee. In general, however, much
still depends on Warsaw and its
fate.[2]
